GRAPEFRUIT TART

Steps:

• Roll out dough with a floured rolling pin into a 13-inch round on a floured surface and fit into tart pan (if pastry breaks, press together with your fingers). Trim excess dough, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang, then fold overhang inward and press against side of pan to reinforce edge. Lightly prick bottom of shell all over with a fork. Chill 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Line shell with foil and fill with pie weights. Bake in middle of oven 10 minutes, then carefully remove foil and weights and bake shell until golden, 13 to 15 minutes more. Transfer shell in pan to a rack to cool.
• Make filling just before serving:
• Cut peel, including all white pith, from fruit with a sharp paring knife, then cut segments free from membranes and pat dry with paper towels. Squeeze 3 tablespoons juice from membranes into a bowl. Whisk together mascarpone, candied ginger, 2 tablespoons juice, and 2 tablespoons confectioners sugar. Add remaining tablespoon juice if mixture is too thick.
• Spread ginger mascarpone evenly in tart shell and top decoratively with fruit. Dust with remaining 2 tablespoons confectioners sugar and serve immediately.

GRAPEFRUIT FLUFF

Steps:

• Halve the grapefruits. Using a small, sharp paring knife or one of those nifty grapefruit knives, remove the grapefruit segments and place them in a bowl. Gently remove the membrane from the grapefruits and discard it. You should be left with 4 hollowed-out grapefruit halves. Reserve them.
• Pour the brandy over the grapefruit segments and chill for 1 hour.
• When ready to serve, heat the broiler and arrange an oven rack about 6 inches from the heating element. In a mixer fitted with a whisk or by hand, whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt until foamy, then gradually add the sugar, beating until the whites are firm and shiny.
• Spoon the grapefruit segments into the grapefruit halves. Put a layer of ice in a baking pan and arrange the grapefruit halves on top. (This helps steady them and also keeps the cool part cool.) Add a large scoop of ice cream to each, then flatten the ice cream to make room for the meringue. Dollop the meringue on top. Place under the broiler and toast until the meringue is hazelnut brown, about 1 minute. Transfer the grapefruits to shallow bowls and serve.

GRAPEFRUIT TART

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the crust: Pour the graham cracker crumbs into a bowl and stir in the melted butter and sugar. Press the mixture into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom and bake until golden and set, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
• For the filling: Mix the condensed milk, egg yolks and grapefruit zest and juice in the bowl of a mixer, then mix on high until smooth and thick. Add a few drops of the food coloring, if using, to give it a ruby grapefruit color, and stir thoroughly to combine.
• Pour the mixture into the crust and bake until set, about 15 minutes. Allow to cool, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Serve with whipped cream.
